I've successfully emerged the nvidia 4499 drivers (glx and kernel) which seems to be perfectly fine. When I start x I get a weirdly garbled display - weird colors and just a mess. After searching the forums and finding this thread:

Code:

Which indicate I need the 5332 drivers.

The 5332 drivers for AMD64 don't seem to exist in portage (I sync'd just a few minutes ago), although if I temparily set the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to x86 emerge -s comes up with the new driver.

I'm kind of new to gentoo, so does anybody know what to do in this situation? Does this mean there are issues with 5332 on amd64 or has sombody just not gotten arround to it?

You might want to add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" to /etc/make.conf. It's up to you, as this allows more things to run, but means they haven't been tested much, or have known issues.

Take a look at the online package database too. It can tell you how stable something is for what platforms, and it's kind of neet just to browse by catigory and look for things you didn't even know you needed._________________The new scum
